The Invitation
The invitations were mailed and arrived at each crew members home. They had a lot of fun getting an official "message in a bottle" through the mail. Each bottle contained sand, sea shells, a pirate patch and skull and cross bone ring along with the rolled up invitation tied with a leather thong and skull beads. The bottles were purchased from Oriental Trading.
Each crew member was issued a canvas duffle bag with all the essentials needed for life at sea. Included was the
itinerary...
